RE: Getting an AS/400 Printout into Excel...

[Eric <Eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you using the correct syntax?  
Syntax should be FTP 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'   Include the ticks!

Thanks Rob,

Now I become a pest...

What do you mean by the CD /workdir ?

I assume this means any subdirectory on the PC or is it something specific the
the AS/400's file system ?

I tried starting FTP (and I am a real NOVICE when it comes to stuff like this on
the AS/400) and I get "cannot connect to host xxxxxx.xxx.xxx.COM (where all the
x's are valid names) at address xxx.xx.xx.x. (where all the x's are valid
numbers) try again.

I can ping the AS/400 and I am connecting to the AS/400 via TCP/IP at my NT
Workstation. Host Servers is started (has to be started for me to connect via CA
or I get an error), etc.

What am I missing  ?

Thanks !!

Chuck
